Services

Residential Living (RES)

The Residential Living Program (RES) is a residential service specifically designed to serve children 13- 18 years or older, for whom treatment goals include basic life skills training for unification with their family and/or independent living.

Our Residential living programs (RES) work with children on various subjects, each providing the skills and coping mechanisms needed to live a healthy and safe life. We provide and teach basic skills such as nutrition/home economics, preventative health, conflict resolution, communication, human sex trafficking awareness, emergency preparedness and crisis management planning, and fire safety. Our program also works with children to develop short-term goal-setting skills that can be applied to their current situation and future endeavors.

Transitional Living (TL)

Independent Living does not mean freedom. All Transitional Living (TRL) programs provide 12-hour on-site overnight staffing and/or on-call Supervisors for children ages 16 - 18 in Pennsylvania and 18 - 23 in Central Florida. The responsibilities and expectations of children in our TL programs are higher than in child residential homes. They must work, save money, and develop an Independent Living Plan that addresses the steps they must take to live independently after discharge. They will be provided training in areas such as budgeting, obtaining housing, applying to college, interview skills, resume writing, and obtaining and retaining work, to name a few. Children in this program must also participate in and complete appropriate treatment services, attend school, and maintain employment.

SIL & IL Living

Supervised Independent Living (SIL) and Independent Living (IL) Program is designed to assist young adults, ages 18 - 21 in Pennsylvania and 18 - 23 in Florida, in developing independent living skills and enhancing educational/vocational while aiding employment opportunities. We offer a permanent apartment-style or shared housing residence for young adults. This program helps develop young adults into independent, self-sufficient, successful, and productive individuals. Young adults in the program will receive case management support and services for life skills training, including home management, time management, money management, credit management, human sexuality, personal care, consumer shopping, social interaction, maintaining a safe and healthy home, public transportation, and nutrition education. As needed, young adults will be assisted in scheduling their medical, dental, vision, and outpatient psychological appointments, enrollment in the local college/university, or in obtaining employment, offered behavioral support, and can participate in recreational activities of their choice.

Emergency Respite

Emergency Respite for male and female dependent/delinquent youth who require short-term alternatives to their current living situations. We accept adolescents ages 13 -23.

We accept referrals from Pennsylvania County Children, Youth, and Family Agencies and Brevard County Family Partnerships of Central Florida. Referrals are received 24 hours a day and are generally initiated through phone or email contact from the referring agency. Admission may occur immediately with all required supporting documents.

PATHWAY does not and shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion (creed), gender, gender expression, age, national origin (ancestry), disability, marital status, sexual orientation, or military status in any of its admissions, activities, or operations.

The voluntary Placement Agreement/Court Order must be presented at the time of admission. If it is not available at the time of admission, we must receive the document within 72 hours of admission. We must also receive an updated Family Service Plan within two weeks.

A youth currently in our Respite program may be admitted to long-term residential placement if the referring agency and staff at Pathway to Everyday Life feel that the youth would benefit from our program and a bed is available.
